Oh gees, so I went from this, posted a few months ago, asking for help on the whole wing-thing. (I've never been any good with wings, drawing or sculpting.) But thanks to some amazingly helpful people, I managed to finally pull myself up and finish this darn thing.

So here she is, my first ever fully sculpted custom, and my goodness did I make a few mistakes on her. But, a learning curve is a learning curve, and I can't wait to get started on another custom!

The base, as you can see from the first photo, is a lovely ol' spare Rarity I had lying around. (I actually have 2 more of her lying around as well, she pops up everywhere.) After poking some holes in her, I made an incredibly rough armature for what I was planning. Problems here being not enough armature on the wings, and having no clue what design I was doing. (I later ended up adding more wire to the tail, and adding armature to the head for the mane.)
After sculpting some crazy huge wings, I decided this pony would be Luna, and set about sculpting shoes, a horn and then tackling the hair and the tail, which was re-sculpted twice.
I also lengthened the horn, it seemed to get lost with all the other crazy sculpting going on!
I primed her with several coats of white paint, and set about painting her fully. This was repeated almost 4 times while trying to get the colour right..
Finally, with all the painting done, I added the finishing touches. The silvery glow around her mane was actually this fantastic nail polish?! I then added white glitter to her shoes to make them sparkle, and silver glitter to her mane and tail! (Only after trying the white glitter and it looking terrible.. argh.)
Also. Eyes are the hardest thing ever. I decided to play on hardest difficulty by obstructing myself through sculpting..
So there we have it! If you made it through all that text, I congratulate you! And one last question, do you think she's worth selling? Would anyone even want her? She has lots of little mistakes since I haven't done this before!
